STEWARDSHIP
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK: Romans
14:7
“For none of us
lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself.” E just don’t belong to ourselves: we belong
first of all to God and through Him we belong to our neighbors. We are here to serve God in our service to
one another. God has called you to this
service through your vocation: as a Christian you serve others in the church;
as a neighbor you serve others in society; and as a son or daughter, husband or
wife, father or mother, you serve your family.
T BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK! T
